Leborgne, Wadstein Named All-American for Doubles

SKILLMAN, N.J. – The Georgia College
men’s tennis team pulled in Intercollegiate Tennis
Association (ITA) All-American honors in doubles for just the
second time in school history, as the ITA recently announced the
selection of GC’s Jerome
Leborgne (Coordimanche, France) and Johan
Wadstein (Helsingborg, Sweden) to the All-America
list.

As the No. 7 national doubles team and No. 2 in the southeast
region, the Bobcat duo compiled a 13-8 overall mark, going 6-3
against Peach Belt Conference (PBC) teams.

The only other All-American doubles team came in 2009, as
Justin Pickham and Erick Siqueira
took the nation’s top honors while pacing the team to a PBC
Championship. All-time, GC has put 11 men’s tennis players on
the All-America list, seven in head coach Steve
Barsby’s tenure.

The Bobcats have wrapped up a 2012 season that saw GC go 12-9,
earn the No. 5-seed in the PBC Tournament, and eventually fall in
the Southeast Region No. 1 final. The Bobcats put a pairing on the
All-PBC first team in doubles and added a second team singles
player. The GC men have now made five straight trips to the NCAA
Tournament.

The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of
the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs
at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat
Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the
student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in
post-season competition as well as documented academic success and
community-service involvement. Sign up at
